  1. The Verge

    What other products would make for a really cool Versus video?

  2. Fedor Kurilo

    Tbh I had some kind of stress watching her trying to impersonate two different people, but i quickly got through that and then started enjoying the plot and a good montage! Didn’t try to offend, just sharing my opinion on where to improve)

  3. he is Mee

    In order to make the video entertaining u made a circus! Come back Dieter!

  4. Basasa Justine

    I had a idea. How about an invisible physical rotatable bezel on the next Galaxy Watch6? That would be the best thing ever for both durability and reliability

  5. Dad Rock

    This video is over edited. Too much flash, not enough substance.

  6. phonepup_mk8DX

    Even if the bezels “blend in” you still have such a small screen; or at least a much smaller screen than the body could fit

  7. PSH

    The comparison lost its direction immediately when they focused on bragging to each other. What I can only take from it is that the Android watch world is a mess and there's actually nothing worth the money.

    the Galaxy 4 Classic with a physical rotating stainless steel bezel 46mm

    i usually really like the verge's reviews, but i dont rly like this format im sorry

  10. Mercer

    Don't like whole back and forth between. Keep it on same watch at a time

  11. Toukir Rahman

    Anyone else missing Lauren Goode on the verge after watching this?

  12. Marcelo Ibarra

    Is nice to see this versus format come back to The Verge! As good as Lauren Goode did the last time.

  13. Nathan Adam

    I know a few people that own Samsung Watch 4 and they charge that things day to about a day and a half and that's great compared to my Pixel Watch but that and the old processor are my only complaint about the Pixel Watch, The bezel only seems to stand out way more before the whole top is a dome of glass and hopefully it'll be fixed by the next gen Pixel Watch along with a bigger battery and updated processor.

  14. Tobias Wozniak

    The part you need to redo is with the Garmin users complaining. The Fossil and Huawei guys get two weeks out of their battery.

  15. Rob Lacy

    I have owned both and I personally prefer the Pixel Watch. I think it's more fluid, has a nicer design and is much more comfortable to wear. The battery life has also gotten better the more I've used it, so that hasn't been nearly as bad as a lot of reviewers say, as well as the bands….they are super easy to attach. No idea why reviewers struggle with it. The health tracking is also excellent. I have full sleeve tattoos on both arms and this still accurately reads my heart rate, which I can't really say for the Galaxy Watch (or the Apple watch). So I'm definitely going to be sticking with the Pixel Watch, and I'm excited to see where they take it in the next few iterations.

  16. Yaseen Muhammed

    NOOOOOOOOOOOO. How'd y'all get that first shotttt??? WOoooooooOWW

  17. Garuna

    Wow they're both kinda bad. Guess I'll wait for a better watch.

  18. SambaCed

    VERSUS IS BACK! Lauren Goode would be honoured.

  19. OxionG

    Actually the best android watch is the Samsung Galaxy watch 4. It's exactly the same than the 5, is cheaper and still has the rotating bezels.

  20. Akshay Patil

    The nostalgia of watching Lauren Goode in versus hitting hard !

  21. Neil Suri

    The Verge has been trying this new super casual approach to make it's videos more friendly, but I'm sorry guys it just isn't working out. People that are seriously interested in technology or a review before making a purchase, they want to get to the point and cut the senseless moments out, there are so many of those moments & scenes in your videos lately that it just makes the video look unprofessional.

    Go back to the old style, a few familiar faces with expertise in their areas, casually recording a video without trying too hard to be casual or humorous.

  22. Mayank S

    arey they the same person, pls im not racist

  23. Dom

    Lauren Goode would turning in her grave right now (if she weren't alive and doing cool stuff still).

  24. LtexprsGaming

    I think it kinda depends on which phone you use as well. For Samsung phones, the Galaxy Watch is the way to go. For Pixel phones, the Pixel Watch is probably the way to go. And as for other Android phone manufacturers, I'd say it's very close to pick a clear winner.
